We should have the same desire expressed by Sir John A MacDonald to Queen
Victoria, the Mother of Confederation, "to live under the sovereignty
of Your Majesty and your family for ever."

The prospect of a severely slashed budget has emerged despite Conservative election promises to "maintain or increase" support for the public broadcaster, and amid fears now openly expressed by top executives that the coming cuts could be driven even deeper by relentless attacks from the CBC's competitor, Quebecor, and its conservative-minded network of television stations, websites and Sun newspapers.

After a Quebec arts-funding flap that may well have cost the federal Conservatives a majority government in 2008, Heritage Minister James Moore made it a mission to reassure anxiety-filled, culture-minded Canadians — right through the 2011 election campaign — that the CBC was in no danger of being de-funded or otherwise diminished.

am sure with you on this idea Dr., and if we all squawk and squeal long and hard enough, perhaps the government will do what is right for the country, and for the hard pressed taxpayers, who should not be forced to pay for this leftist incestuous monster.

Don't count the CBC out yet....for years they have managed to dodge being fiscally responsible. Perhaps this "MAYBE"10% is a ploy to get everyone to back off and when the time comes much later next year the numbers will look much smaller. You would think they would cut it now if they were serious...the sooner the cut the more the govt. saves!
